For Freedom

"Ryan .." Aria was really touched by Ryan's words. He did not expect, Ryan would really keep his promise

Although the time Aria spent with Ryan is not long, but Aria can feel the seriousness and anger of Ryan's words.

In addition to Aria, Riko who has been with Ryan since 1st grade High School also understands that Ryan is an angry person, especially when it comes to his loved ones.

"Riko." Ryan looked straight at Riko and said slowly, "If you're willing to apologize to Aria for all that you said just now, then I'll just catch you without hurting you."

Ryan actually put his taste on Riko. However, his actions this time had crossed his limits. Ryan was very angry with Riko.

"I say again, if you apologize now, I will give you my mercy. But otherwise, you will have to accept the consequences from me!"

After Ryan said it, the atmosphere became very heavy. In fact, the current Aria would inevitably hold her breath because it was so heavy the air around.

However, in contrast to Aria, Riko even looks ordinary, as if he is not affected by Ryan's emotional fluctuations. In fact, Riko was even more excited.

“Antracious!” Riko licked her lips and looked at Ryan with a hot look. “Ri-Ri, did you know? Riko loves everything about Ri-Ri. However, the thing Riko likes most about Ri-Ri is seeing Ri-Ri fight."

“When Ri-Ri is in Assault class, Riko is really fascinated by Ri-Ri who was fighting alone to slaughter all male students of Assault.” class 

“Can fight Ri-Ri directly is an honor for Riko."

After saying so, Riko held up Walther's gun in her hand and pointed it at Ryan.

"Come on! Show me the power of Olmes' partner!"

Ryan looked at Riko who kept staring at her face and sighed. "Well, a bad boy must accept his punishment."

Dorian

Without any warning, Ryan suddenly opened fire. The sound of these shots echoed throughout the deck.

Clang

The sparks resembled fireworks blooming in Riko's hands. The bullet fired by Ryan hit one of Riko's Walther pistols and threw him out of Riko's hand. 

Feeling a strong blow from her hand, Riko could only endure the pain she was in. 

In fact, this is not the first time Riko saw Ryan's Invisible Bullet technique. However, even though he had increased his vigilance since then, but still Riko could not react at all when Ryan opened his shot.

Not wanting to keep quiet, Riko then raised her right hand which was still holding the gun and pointed it towards Ryan.

Dorian

The gunshot was heard again. However, the sound did not come from Riko's gun.

Clang

In Riko's newly raised hand, a dazzling spark re-bloomed. This causes Riko's only remaining gun to fall to the floor of the deck.

“Ughh ..” Riko then licked his numb hand as a result of receiving Ryan's shot effect while slowly walking backwards.

At the same time, Ryan's voice sounded in Riko's ears.

“After you suddenly disappeared, I admit that I like you, Riko.”

“However, it won't stop me from punishing you. As a person who cares deeply for you and also for Aria's sake, I have to do it!”

Instantly, a flash of fire reappeared.

Dorian

A bullet that could not be seen easily drove by quickly and finally hit Riko's bulletproof uniform.

Nodded

Along with the sound of blunt force blows, Riko groaned in pain. “Arghh ..”

Riko kept holding onto the part of her stomach that was hit by Ryan's shot. He no longer dared to move rashly.

‘Now I've lost both my guns. So I can't attack him from a distance. In that case, I should distract him to get back my gun and attack him at close range!’

After making a plan, Riko immediately took out a Flashbang from under her skirt and immediately threw it to the front.

Shiiii

The flashbang exploded and emitted a dazzling white light that illuminated the entire top of the Ocean Cradle Tanker Ship.

"A Flashbang?!" Aria inevitably raised her arms to protect her eyes from the effects of Flashbang.

At the same time, Riko immediately took back both of her pistols lying on the floor of the deck and ran towards Ryan.

Clad in a red aura, Riko's hair started to move like a snake. The two hairs that had been pigtailed on both sides started to creep into Riko's waist. The two hairs then wrapped around the two daggers hidden there and pulled them out.

Now, Riko has two Walther pistols in both hands and two daggers in both of her hair pigtails that float like snakes.

“I'll win!” yell Riko. He then jumped in front of Ryan and pulled the two daggers in his hair into Ryan's body.

As the Flashbang effects begin to fade, Riko realizes that Ryan is no longer there. As a result, Riko could only slash at the empty space that was in front of him.

However, suddenly, Riko experienced extreme pain that caused Riko's eyes to tremble

Dorian

At the same time, the sound of gunfire was clearly heard in Riko's ears.

Riko got a bullet hit within zero meters directly on the side of his waist.

“Argh!” 

This time, Riko finally could not hold back anymore. It immediately fell flat on the floor of the deck.

After the Flashbang effect completely disappeared, Aria slowly opened her eyes. In front of him, he saw Ryan standing gallantly without any injuries. In fact, on the black Tuxedo that Ryan uses, there are no visible scratches and wrinkles. 

While Riko, he is seen still lying on the ground and staring to the side. His charming face was filled with a lot of sweat. His breath was a little faster. 

Although the entire body was painful, but the two hairpins Riko still stood up while winding a dagger and moving like a snake.

"Special Capabilities?" 

Seeing this, Aria was completely shocked. "Since when has the Lupin Family had this kind of Special Ability?"

As a descendant of Holmes, Aria had never heard of the Lupin Family having any Special Abilities passed down other than intelligence and physical strength.

"So you have Special Abilities?" Ryan looked at Riko who was lying on the floor of the deck and whispered, "You hid it too deep."

"Because this is Riko's secret weapon to defeat Ri-Ri's Invisible Bullet." Riko took a breath and smiled full of irony.

"Riko knows Ri-Ri very well, and Ri-Ri is the greatest person Riko has ever known. And also the person Riko loved the most."

"Then, why do you want to bring me together with Aria?" Ryan looked directly at Riko and said, "Making me partner with Aria will only increase your chances of failing."

"I can only defeat Olmes who is in perfect condition." 

Riko gritted her teeth and stood up in pain, her eyes fixed on Ryan and said, "Because you're strong, doesn't mean Riko can stop you from being Olmes' partner."

"That's tantamount to admitting that Riko won't be able to win with the perfect Olmes!"

Riko seems to be completely possessed by the obsession of defeating Aria. Although her breathing was wheezing and sweating profusely, Riko still struggled to lift the two pistols in her hands and aimed at Ryan.

"Riko must defeat Olmes!"

"All this is to prove that Riko has surpassed great-grandfather!"

"I must surpass my great-grandfather!"

A sentence full of obsession echoed throughout the deck, making the roar of the waves sound sad.

"Riko, you .." Aria was completely shocked by Riko's obsession. He doesn't know what to say to respond to this.

Instead Ryan, frowned deeply. He then asked Riko a question.

"Why are you so fixated on wanting to prove that you have surpassed your own great-grandfather?"

"Hahahaha .." Riko laughed. But this laughter is full of sadness and also painful terraces.

Riko then answered Ryan's question slowly. "For freedom."

After saying so, Riko tightened her body and prepared to move towards Ryan.

However, suddenly, a cynical sneer rang out loudly in the ears of Ryan, Aria, and Riko. This sneer actually pierced Riko's heart.

"Sorry, IV, you're not free."

Sloughing

A bullet shot through and hit hard on Riko's bulletproof uniform.
